On March 25-27th, I had the pleasure of participating in and presenting at the first Young Trilateral Leaders Alumni Workshop at the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi.
The workshop brought together YTL alumni from across the United States, Japan, and the Republic of Korea to explore how emerging leaders can translate shared commitment to trilateral cooperation into concrete projects, policy dialogue, and public-facing outputs. Across the discussions, a recurring theme was the importance of transnational networks and people-to-people ties in sustaining U.S.-ROK-Japan cooperation through the communities and relationships that connect the three countries.
As part of the first day of programming, I presented on the Indo-Pacific Minilateral Cooperation Ideas Lab at Northeastern University’s Center for International Affairs and World Cultures, discussing minilateral cooperation, regional security, and U.S.-ROK-Japan relations.

I am also grateful that, following the workshop, my proposal was selected to receive support through the Young Trilateral Leaders Alumni Project Fund for future programming hosted by the Indo-Pacific Minilateral Cooperation Ideas Lab.
Thank you to the East-West Center, the U.S. Department of State, Embassy of the United States, Seoul, U.S. Embassy in Tokyo Japan, and the broader Young Trilateral Leaders community.
